Home Economics Course For Men Creates Interest Miss Ruby Jenkins announces that, the new home economic course men “1 lucation for Personal Group i .i\ ig,” has created great interest anti spirit among the t.v\ entj boys now enrolled. The course began with only three in the class, she says, but now the re are* two classes, one with nine students, and the other has eleven. The classes meet three times a v, eek to discuss their own needs a nersonal wants. The way in which the class grew was that some of the boys came in and “sat-in” until they were so interested, Miss Jenkins explains, that they joined the class es. Another cause for the new in terest, she added, was due to the fact that the men already enrolled talked with the other fellows a bout the course, and finally won them over. Human as it may seem, Miss Jen kins said that the secret of the enthusiasm was that the boys were so eager to know how to act in front of girls! 44 STUDENTS MAKE DEAN’S LIST FOR FALL (Continued From Page 1) rge Vincent.

Telephone 376 ©IPIEN rCRUM Pill SIGMA ALPHA—A STUDENT ORGANIZATION By A Member At a meeting of the Mu Zcta Alpha last week, tjjc question of student activities on this campus actually being student activities was discussed; and the members of the honorary scientific society agreed that there is no such organi zation on the West Georgia Col lege campus.”’—The West Geor gian, November 24, 1936. Whether the members of the Mu Zeta Alpha, in their sweeping indictment, used old or new facts is not known. However, this mem ber of Phi Sigma Alpha, not an of ficer, sees things move, and claims that the P. S. A. is actually a campus organization. Several facts bear this conclu sion out, although Phi Sigma Alpha does have three faculty advisors. The programs so far this year have been altogether student pro gams, or programs by faculty mem bers invited to speak before the club by its members. A club paper, the Georgia Alpha, was thought up by a member of the club; it was fostered by mem bers of the club who presented the plans to the faculty advisors, and the club members chartered the publication. The club’s president appointed an editorial staff which has been allowed to determine the policy of the paper. The material making up the publication is determined by Phi Sigma staff members with out any supervisior whatsoever. When the members of Phi Sigma planned a quarter’s work in ad vance they set a precedent that was so successful that it is being followed again without the aid of an advisor. The Georgia Alpha for December 15 contains the pro gram for the Winter quarter’s dis cussion. The said program was thought up by members, was adopt ed by a program committee com- COLLEGIATE CHATTER Roger Babson, in a recent ar ticle in the New York Times pre dicted that in the next score of years half of the population in the United States will be housed in trailers in order to escape taxes. College students seem to be lead ers in the trailer movement. Roll ins College in Florida is said to be the first college to welcome a trailer to its campus. The State College of Agriculture in Utah boasts of a trailer town consisting of 16 trailers. Although not quite as large as the trailer town in Utah, one has sprung up at the University of Georgia just this year, and the idea seems to be growing here at West Georgia. ***** Both Hobart and William Smith Colleges have a four-year course in responsible citizenship as a re quirement for the A. B. degree. Dr. Eddy, president of both colleges, believes that the average college student pays little or no attention to political doings outside the col lege. The course is designated to make die college student aware of an interest in the political situa tion’. of the stale, and to promote responsible, well-trained citizens. ***** Six Hollywood stars are listed on the rolls of Greek letter houses at the University of Illinois. Nancy CARROLLTON, CniORGIA, TUESDAY, JAN. 19, 1037 posed only of club members, and is being presented solely by club members. Is there any need in insisting that Phi Sigma is truly a student organization in which the mem bers are the club and not the faculty advisors? A DIRTY POKE By Norman Tant The trouble with our citizens of today is the love of vague gen eralizations based on covering up of individuals and ourselves in particular. For a memorized speech about “protect our youth from this hor ror” stuff to be made from our chapel rostrum is especially piti ful when it common knowledge that a bootlegger has been carry ing on his business on the very edge of the college campus since the establishment of this very institution . He drives through the campus smiling benignly on our students, and he is apparently respected. Why? Is it because our influential citizens don’t give a skiddo or they are too cowardly to act? I am opposed to John Barley Corn and I don’t care yyßo knows it. I also commend this “protect our youth” stuff. But I also want to be known as one who is in favor of decisive action against the said evil. We still have laws and law-en forcing agents. What we lack is a group of enraged citizens to swear off warrants and prosecute the devil that they so enthuiasti eally thumb their respective noses at. i If we are so interested, forget the fear of offending some body even if he is a bootlegger. We might not stamp out any racket but we could make it uncomfortable for its prosperity. Carroll and Mae West are members of sororities, and Robert Taylor, Robert Montgomery, William Boyd and Richard Bennett get their mail regularly at Illinois fraternities. ***** A proprosed seal for the college is being drafted by the officials of North Georgia College. To be worn as the shoulder patch of the cadet uniforms of the college, this seal will have on it a wreath made of Cherokee Roses and the front of a crossed gun. Some men keep their dates, oth ers merely go out with them. I’m glad that I’m not a blood cell, For there’s a very good reason. They’re always fighting some dis ease and reproduced by fison. A chii’opractor is a man who gets paid for what any other man would get slapped for. A city and a chorus girl Are much alike, 'tis true. A city’s built with outskirts, And a chorus girl is too. Larger consumption of milk is the last fifty years is attributed to several factors, chiefly these: Im proved quality of milk, understand ing of its food value, and changes in living habits. Chieftain Prints To Be Retaken This Week Frank Kelly, editor of the Chief tain, said Monday that the develop ed individual prints arrived Sat urday ready for the make-up but the prints were not satisfactory. Asa result, he reported, these pictures are being made over, and work will begin today. He also announced that work would be done under the personal supervision of Thurston Hatcher, one of the South’s leading photo graphers. The annual make-up has already started, he said, and the layout sheets have been placed in position. Bob Richardson, business mana ger, stated that the business staff is making definite progress in the ad selling. Pledger Carmichael Is Named News Editor It was announced last night that Pledger Carmichael had been nam ed News Editor by Robert Knox. Knox said that this office has not existed in the past, but feeling that the town students should be represented by a student bearing the rank of editor, and feeling that Carmichael deserves a promotion after such faithful duty this year, he designated him as such. Carmichael is in charge of the Debating Club Tournament, and is affiliated with other student acti vities on the campus. Editor Knox said that within the next week the West Georgian staff would be reorganized, and that sev eral students would be dropped from the staff. He complains of their lack of interest and unwilling ness to work. Completion of Library Is Seen For February i Plans, it was revealed, are for the new library to be finished by Fe bruary 15th, but occupation of it will be delayed until sufficient furniture can be secured. Librarian Weaver expressed hope that this will be in the very near future. She said that at the present time there is a list of new books ordered for the new building, chief among which are texts in rural sociology, humanities, and Children’s litera ture. Some girls like old ruins, es pecially if they have plenty of money. —COMPLIMENTS OF— THE HUB Carrollton, Georgia SOUTHEASTERN MOTOR LINES Round Trips Daily To Atlanta , Rome, Griffin, Bowdon (FREE SERVICE BETWEEN BUS STATION AND COLLEGE) New Dancing Classes Begin Work Friday The newly formed class for be ginners in . social dancing under the direction of Coach Bonner be gan work Friday morning, it was announced.
